A New Puppy and Foundation Class – Register Today
Jeannine Rash is teaching a new puppy and foundations class. The class will be held each Thursday at 10 am and begins May 3.
Learn Jeannine’s finely tuned solid foundation method to jump-start your puppy into a rewarding obedience journey. Jeannine builds excitement into each exercise that carries into many years of showing. Come learn how to teach your puppy to enjoy working through utility, attention and body awareness.
This class is perfect for puppies and is also an excellent opportunity for handlers wanting a stronger competition obedience foundation. No prior knowledge is required however this class is geared for competition obedience.
The course includes getting and holding attention, heads up heeling, proper positions for Utility signals–kickback stand, crouch down, pop up sit, backing up in each position, tricks, wait with attention, beginner jumping, go outs, tuck sit, hind end awareness exercises, beginning retrieve, lateral movement, quick heads up getting into position and more.
Jeannine is currently working on her 6th OTCH and won the 2017 Classic, Novice level. Her training experience includes all breeds from a 3-pound Chihuahua to a 150-pound Bouvier.

No Classes and Building is Closed (3/22/18)
Because Mother Nature has dropped well over a foot of snow on the area, all classes are canceled and the building is closed tomorrow (Thursday, 3/22/18).
Please do not attempt to access the lower driveway or the building.
Wednesday, March 21 – PDTA Open?
PDTA students and open ring enthusiasts – no doubt you are wondering if PDTA will open tomorrow. Not a chance with the current snowfall and the expected totals.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for Thursday.

Hi Thursday Day Students,
Grab the dog and get to class tomorrow. Class begins at 11:30.
Daytime Puppy Class is canceled (Wed, 3/7)
Tomorrow’s (3/7/18) daytime puppy class is canceled because of weather. Papillonia is located within the area predicted to receive 5-10 inches of snow overnight and tomorrow.
Hopefully mother nature will settle down so we can get back to more dog training and less shoveling.
URGENT – Tuesday Night Class Canceled (3/6/2018)
Mother Nature has again hit Papillonia. The driveway is now a sheet of ice with the ice/snow mix that just started a short time ago. Please help spread the word to other students.
